The Cubs Are REALLY Honoring Ron Santo

Wow. I know that Ron Santo was an iconic member of the Cubs family. And he is certainly missed. The Cubs are wearing a patch in his honor on their jersey and a statue of Ron will be placed outside Wrigley later this summer.

But, the players have come up with another way to remember #10...with their record.

At the start of today, the Cubs have played 20 games. Their record?

10 WINS and

10 LOSSES

How bizarre is that?? Actually, the Cubs have been at .500 all year long. So far they have had records of1-12-23-34-45-56-67-78-89-910-10

They are the first team in MLB history to ever do that at the start of the season.

Now, if the team would like to honor the memory of another player, how about Todd Hundley? He spent most of his time in Chicago playing as if he was dead.

Why honor Todd? Because he was...

....#99. Of course, I would prefer 99 wins, not losses. That should be more than enough to get the Cubs into the post-season.

About Me

I am a life-long Cubs fan currently in exile in southern Michigan. I have been collecting baseball cards since the fateful Cubs year of 1969. I took a 15 year break from the hobby and returned in 2008.
